Rogue Moon (unedited(complete)

chapter 23

The darkness was my only companion as I sat there alone in the decrepit cold dungeon. Ha...i was such a fool... Even now all I could do was worry about what would happen to me...or what might happen to Damien...

He was still asleep. Unable to protect or protest against whatever these people had planned, and it's all my fault...because of my stupidity, he got hurt...because of my stupidity I brought him here... Because im so God damn stupid I thought we were safe!

I hugged my knees tighter, no sounds from upstairs could be heard all I could do was wait, In the cold darkness of this cell, while my companion's life was in danger... It was impossible to tell how much time had passed, it felt like forever... But probably was only a few hours. I couldn't sleep knowing how badly I had just messed up. I felt so anxious and wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and disappear. To not have to worry...

Lifting my head I looked at the silver cuffs hanging from the wall. I knew who those were meant for...what they were made for... But why? To torture the poor creatures? Was that what they would do to Damien? Torture him to death?

Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I buried my face in my arms. If that was his fate...what would be mine? They already think im one of them...one of the wolves...they called me a monster, they have all these silver chained and cells it only makes sense...they are hunters and they kill beasts for a living.

I continued to sulk in my cell alone for hours.

The sound of the upstairs door opening caught my attention as I lifted my head and looked to see who was coming. I was a bit surprised to see Keith walking down the steps with a folded blanket in his arms and a plate of food in his hands.

He looked up at me for a moment before quickly looking away. He didnt seem to hate me, but he also didnt seem to like me very much either. Kneeling down he put the blanket through the bars and slipped the plate of fold under the slot on the ground.

Hesitantly I moved to take both the items and wrapped the blanket around myself.

"What's going to happen to us?"

He flinched but didnt bother looking up, keeping his focus on the ground. "I'm not supposed to talk to you..." Standing up he started walking back towards the stairs.

"Wait!" Shooting my hand out I grabbed his wrist which he quickly grabbed with his free hand, his nails digging into my skin in a bruising grip. I cried out releasing him and he quickly did the same, backing away from the cell.

He looked at me a bit angry but it quickly disappeared when he realized he had been too rough. "Please...i need to talk to Henry!" Looking up at him pleadingly he went stiff, hesitating for a moment.

"He doesn't want to talk to you..."

"I know! I just...i want to apologize for...what I've done...i didnt mean to hurt anyone...if he'll listen to me then im willing to tell him everything!"

Keith was silent and I could tell he was debating on saying something. Without another word he turned away and went upstairs. As the door shut, the last bit of light faded with it, leaving me alone once again in the dark.

My gaze fell to the floor, followed by a few tears. I quickly wiped them away and glanced at the food beside me. I pushed it away and sat with my back against the cell bars once again hugging my knees tight to my chest, and hiding my face.

I jumped at the sound of my cell door opening and franticly moved away looking to see who was there, I must have fallen asleep at some point.
